"That will be 20 screws." Oh, I am SO quoting that out of context.Very funny list, Lisa (and there ain't nothing wrong with gingers), and I loved Munch's Oddysee! That was the first Oddworld game I beat. Too bad my 1st XBOX 360 got the RROD, so now I can't finish my game of Conker. Harumph.

What, not even a mention of the bottlecaps in the Fallout series? Nor the satisfying sound the game makes when you make a trade where caps are exchanged? Seriously, there was a period where I kept the ones from the beers I drank just in case.

Captcha is "how about lunch", which is interesting considering the date remark... *bashfully* I'd get you flowers, Lisa, if you want me to.

Honourable mention should go to Magical Starsign's Bira. Which is a bilingual joke, so I should just go sit in the corner in shame, but in Sweden, where I'm from, Bira is somewhat outdated slang for Beer. So that's a thing.

mr_major:Sad day when meat from the Kingdom of Loathing is left off a list of silliest Currency.

Yeah, Kingdom of Loathing was one of the first games to pop into my head when I saw this video's title. I guess it's not widely enough known to be featured though.

I remember a friend of mine beat a briefcase bat for the first time and got a briefcase which contained a fat stack of cash. With the item description "Too bad you can't spend cash in The Kingdom of Loathing". That was simply brilliant.

I knew it would be Conker! The entire time I was just waiting for the talking cash, and boom! She did it! And it was glorious! That game was so damn good, I would say its not even funny, but it is. Ten kinds of funny in every bite. And money that not only talks back, but actively runs away and conker complains about a cheap gimmick to pad out game play? That's the highlight of video game comedy if you ask me.

I think my favourite video game currency is the Washer (those doughnut shape flat metal that you sometime put inbetween a scew) in Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. I think it's becasue I can easily see those being currency when some madman make it so in a post apocalypse world.

I knew Ratchet and Clank's bolts would make an appearance here. I like the idea that I'd use a hardware store for a currency exchange!Loved that Conker topped it. Money that talks back is all the better. (also, I laughed at the MS Points).

I'd say that the Medi-gel from the first Mass Effect was the silliest. Sure the game had conventional credits to spend on most items, but using medi-gel as a resource for hacking locks and computer systems was stupendously silly. They crack jokes about it in Mass Effect 2's Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC.
